Alice Johns and Bridget Moore were young nuns when a forbidden spark lit between them. After being discovered, they were released from their convent and lost touch. But they never forgot their intense connection.

Twenty-five years later, they meet again, and the old spark is just as strong. Outside the convent, they couldn’t be more different from one another. Alice is quiet, still attached to the church, and very much in the closet. Her life at Oceana is the only thing that keeps her from disappearing behind the closet door permanently. Bridget, an outgoing sales executive who embraces her sapphic nature, has sworn off religion. When they’re alone, their passion runs deep. But when they’re out in the world, Alice’s discomfort with her sexuality leads to trouble.

For their love to survive, they must find a way to reconcile the most important passions in their lives--devotion to the church and each other.
